I used to think the bluebird but over time I have realised how important the blue jersey is.


I can't get my head around the people who say "yellow with pink polka dots". Utter madness.

Which part of Evertons kit is a toffee colour? Ever seen a blue lion? Maybe someone should tell Millwall.

The bluebird is on the badge hence why we are called the bluebirds. Stop trying to bring the club down, the nickname stays as long as the bluebird stays.

I don't even know what that means. Why would I be lonely and have a Vaxhall Astra just because I think the bluebird nickname is warranted? :lol:

Think polo has a new username :lol:

Evertons nickname has nothing to do with a colour, its to do with the sweet and the famous everton mint.

Millwall are The Lions not The Blue Lions but even if for arguments sake they are unofficially called The Blue Lions that might have something to do with their club colours being BLUE. If you want a comparison to us it would be calling themselves The RED Lions when they play in BLUE. :?

The nickname BLUEBIRDS was given as a result of us playing in BLUE colours so no its not the same as Everton, or Sunderland, or Millwall.

All irrelevant anyway Cardiff CITY, blue and the Bluebirds will both be confined to the history books after this season.

Great proving you wrong again though.

You do realise a bluebird is a species don't you? It's not just a bird that we have called blue because of our kit? So your "red lions" example is utter tripe once more.

We are called the bluebirds because of our emblem, not our colour. Just as Millwall are the lions due to their emblem and not their colour.

WRONG

The colour come first, then the nickname, then the badge.

As you were

Re: Blue bird or the colour blue????

Thu Feb 28, 2013 12:41 pm

Nope you are wrong. We will always be the bluebirds as long as there is a blue bird on the crest.

Simple.

As you were.

Answered a different question. Ill accept that as you acknowledging I was right about the history of our nickname / colours then.

As you were.

PS: Seeing as you brought Everton into it, where is the toffee on their badge? Hmmmmm.

You didnt ask me a question.

Yu said it was silly that we chant bluebirds when we play in red. I corrected you that we chant that as we are still the bluebirds as the bluebird is on our crest and not to do with our colour.

I then went on to teach you that Millwall are called the lions even though their colour is completely different to what their nickname represents and also Evertons nickname has nothing what so ever to do with their kit - are they stupid for calling them these names still? No.

You are wrong. Simple as that.

Re: Blue bird or the colour blue????

Thu Feb 28, 2013 12:52 pm

Maqke your mind up you said Millwall were called the Blue Lions? Now you are saying they play in a different colour (Blue) to their nickname (Blue Lions - well accordign to you)?

I think you are all muddled son.

Unravel yourself, get composed, and we will start again.

I asked you if you had ever seen a blue lion, not that their nickname was the blue lions. I was showing you that their nickname has nothing to do with the colour of their kit.... Otherwise they wouldn't be called the lions as lions aren't blue. Surely even my 7 year old niece would have understood that?

Anyway, as you can see now as I've had to explain my example to you, we will continue to call the team the blue birds and Millwall will continue to be called the lions as they appear on the emblems, as you pointed out, even if they disappear from the emblems both clubs will still be called the nicknames ala Everton which a toffee isn't represented on their kit what so ever.

So as we can see.... You were wrong and we shall continue to call city, the bluebirds.

And I taught you that this is blatantly wrong. The nickname had everything to do with our colour.

The same as Wrexham are called The Robins as they play in red, we were called the Bluebirds as a result of us playing in blue.

Now that we play in red the nickname has no meaning.

As you were :malky:

Re: Blue bird or the colour blue????

Thu Feb 28, 2013 1:00 pm

Again you are wrong. We are the bluebirds as we have a bluebird on the badge. Millwall are the lions as they have a lion on their badge. Swansea are the swans as they have a swan on their badge. Everton are the toffees and it is not represented anywhere on their kit.

As you were.

Millwalls nickname has nothing to do with colour so that makes your last post redundant.

The same as you couldnt find a toffee on Evertons badge, there are nicknames for many different reasons than badges or colour.

However, our nickname had everything to do with colour. If you want another history lesson please go tbhrough my PA, ive got a busy schedule this afternoon.

But you have just made that up. I can say man united are called the Red Devils as they signed an argentine who was into black magic who once turned a fish into a red devil.... Doesn't make it true though.

We are the bluebirds as we have a blue bird in our badge. We are still OFFICIALLY the bluebirds and we play in red. so factually speaking you are wrong.

By default. And not for much longer by the looks of it.

When you can come back and prove my theory that the BLUEbirds is nothing to do with the colour we can take this debate back up.

Until then you are wrong.

And thems the facts.

Re: Blue bird or the colour blue????

Thu Feb 28, 2013 1:24 pm

The burden of proof isn't on me.

The FACT is we play in red and are still OFFICIALLY called the bluebirds and join other clubs such as Everton and Millwall who also continue to have a nickname that has nothing to do with the colour of their kit.

You are wrong.

Its luck you are not groundsman the goalposts would be on sloper road you try and move them so much but you will have to get up earlier than that to confuse me I am afraid.

You have stated we are called the Bluebirds because of our badge.

Prove the badge come before the nickname. Back the statement up.

You cannot. You are wrong.

Re: Blue bird or the colour blue????

Thu Feb 28, 2013 1:36 pm

No YOU said we are stupid to call the club the bluebirds when we play in red. I pointed out that we are calling them the bluebirds because of the emblem and also pointed to other teams that continue to call their club said nickname even though it isn't represented in their colours.

It doesn't matter what came first, the reason is the important bit and you have no evidence to back up your claim that it is to do with the colour of kit. You talked about Sunderland being called the black cats as black featured in their home kit but the kit was originally blue and then changed to white and red with no black in sight, it was later that black shorts came into play.

So, we are the bluebirds and we play in red which immediately makes you wrong. We are the bluebirds and we have a bluebird on the emblem.

Prove different.

You are wrong.

Re: Blue bird or the colour blue????

Thu Feb 28, 2013 1:43 pm

So you cannot prove or back up your statements that we are called the bluebirds "because thats our badge" or because of the "species not the colour".

I didnt think so.

Yes I can, we don't play in blue and we are still called the bluebirds. Now how about backing your statements up that we are called the bluebirds because of the blue.

Yes you have said ciao 3 times now and keep coming back.

Probably coz I keep proving you wrong.

Off you pop.

Re: Blue bird or the colour blue????

Thu Feb 28, 2013 1:50 pm

Blue kit. We can always call ourself Bluebirds. It's just a nickname.

Look at Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City do you ever see them called Red Devils, Blues or The Blues? They are always called by their name, now if that was too change.......

Weve not played in blue for 9 months, the bluebird nickname originated some 90 years ago.

Until you can prove that the Bluebird was NOT originated as a result of our colour, as you have stated numerous times on this thread, then you are wrong.

Explain the history and origination of the bluebird.

You cannot.

I've not said that, I've said the nickname is ALSO due to the badge and not necessarily just the colour, and the fact that we are still called the bluebirds with not a scrap of blue on us supports this.

Ciao ciao ciao.

I'm sure you don't know what that means as you have come back each time I've proven you wrong.
